Liesa Lifegain deck.

The deck doesn't focus on stax, instead using Liesa as a reliable source of lifegain. By having a big life total, that allows us to play Liesa a lot of times, which allows us to depend on her to gain more life, which allows us to play her more times, and so on, so she pretty much can allways stay on the battlefield. The deck uses payoff cards to help finish the game by draining opponents, making lots of tokens or pumping our creatures, sometimes to ludicrous proportions. By having most of the support cards to make Liesa bigger and meaner be enchantments, if she dies we can just play her again and be back to where we were, making it a surprisingly tricky deck for our opponents to deal with. So the basic plan of the deck is: Get Liesa out, use her to gain life and pair that with cards that make her bigger, make tokens or drain our opponents to finish them off.
